Harrow on the Hill beauty wins modelling competition - and TV spot

Posted by Ian Proctor on May 1, 09 03:26 PM in

A YOUNG woman from Harrow on the Hill will be hitting the catwalk and our television screens this autumn after winning a modelling competition.

Catia Gomes, 19, a sales assistant, was named the Face of Tigra 2009 at Westfield shopping centre in Hammersmith, west London, fending off 49 other contestants to land the title.

The contest was organised by Vauxhall, the sponsors of Living TV's 'Britain's Next Top Model', so Catia not only guaranteed herself a spot in the programme's upcoming sixth series but she will get to take part in a catwalk show during London Fashion Week in September.

Two of the judges from TV show, model Lisa Snowdon and photographer Huggy Ragnarsson, joined a Vauxhall Fashion scout and a representative from agency Models 1 at the event to provide modelling advice and runway tips before selecting their winner.
